Description

LT3995

60V, 3A, 2MHz Step-Down

Switching Regulator with

2.7µA Quiescent Current

Demonstration circuit 1832A is a monolithic step-down

DC/DC switching regulator featuring the LT3995. The

LT3995isacompact,highefficiencymonolithicstep-down

switching regulator thatconsumes only2.7μAofquiescent

current. The demo circuit is designed for 3.3V, 3A output

from a 4.3V to 60V input. The switching frequency can be

programmed either via oscillator resistor or external clock

up to 2MHz. To synchronize to an external clock, move

JP2 to SYNC and apply the external clock to the SYNC

turret. The RT resistor (R5) should be chosen to set the

LT3995 internal switching frequency at least 20% below

the lowest synchronization input frequency.

Low ripple Burst Mode

operation increases the effi-

ciency at the light load while keeping the output ripple

below15mV.The SYNC pin on the demo board is grounded

by default by setting JP2 at RT FREQ for low ripple

Burst Mode operation. Figure1 shows the demo board

efficiency at 12V input voltage.

The LT3995 is in shutdown when the EN pin is low and

active when the pin is high. The threshold of the EN pin

is accurate at 1.02V with 60mV of hysteresis. Users can

voltage lockout. A low dropout voltage of 500mV is main-

tainedwhentheinputvoltagedropsbelowtheprogrammed

output voltage. During a short-circuit fault, the LT3995

has current limit foldback to limit the power dissipation.

The demo board has an EMI filter installed. The EMI

performance of the demo board at 12V input voltage is

shown on Figure 2. The limit in Figure 2 is EN55022 Class

B. The figure shows the circuit passes the test with a wide

margin. To use the EMI filter, the input should be tied to

VEMI not VIN.

The LT3995 data sheet gives a complete description of

the part, operation and application information. The data

sheet must be read in conjunction with this demo manual

for demo circuit 1832A. The LT3995 is assembled in a 16-

lead plastic MSOP package with an exposed pad for low

thermal resistance. Proper board layout is essential for

bothproperoperationandmaximumthermalperformance.

See the data sheet sections for details.

Quick start proceDure

Demonstration circuit 1832A is easy to set up to evalu-

ate the performance of the LT3995. Refer to Figure 3

for proper measurement equipment setup and use the

following procedure.

NOTE. When measuring the input or output voltage ripple,

care must be taken to avoid a long ground lead on the

oscilloscope probe. Measure the input or output voltage

ripple by touching the probe tip directly across the VIN

or VOUT and GND terminals. See Figure 4 for the proper

scope technique.

1. Place JP1 on the ON position.

2. Place JP2 on the RT FREQ position.

3. With power off, connect the input power supply to VIN

and GND. Make sure that the input voltage does not

exceed 60V.

4. With power off, connect load from VOUT to GND.

5. Turn on the power at the input.

6. Check for the proper output voltage (3.3V).

NOTE. If there is no output, temporarily disconnect the

load to make sure that the load is not set too high or

is shorted.

7. Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust

the load within the operating ranges and observe the

output voltage regulation, ripple voltage, efﬁciency and

other parameters.

8. An external clock can be added to the SYNC terminal

when SYNC function is used (JP2 on the SYNC posi-

tion). Please make sure that the SYNC frequency is at

least 20% higher than the set switching frequency.

See the data sheet Synchronization section.
